It is ;he first time a publicity man has seen accused of such a deficiency. t'Al I .MALLON However, the news should not be suppressed. Let It be known now snd forever that. If the farm pro gram should break down, It may prove a total loss, as long as the AAA has won Its severest Democratic critic. How It did It Is not exactly clear. There are several official and unoffi cial versions. No matter which one you accept. It will be a tribute to the political sgclty of the Wallace Davis regime, which was not sup posed to know anything about poli tics. The AAA boys have been working on Smith for the past 18 months, unsuccessfully. He Is very Important to them because he la chairman of the senate agriculture committee, which handles their legislation. He blocked their amendments last ses sion and helped to hold up their plans for strengthening their pro gram. This year, he also assisted In the strong Democratic congressional resistance to the same AAA amend ments. Recently, however, he report ed them out and now he Is going to vote for them. Not only that, but he also coope erated privately to the extent of let ting the AAA crowd write the report which he submitted to the senate In his own name. Since the millers, packers and other processors contesting the amendments have heard about this, they ire con fessing sotto voce that their tight Is lost. A few other Democratic sena tors will carry on (Byrd. Long. Moore and perhaps Oeorge). but they can not be successful without Smith. The explanation which Smith has offered to his frienda Is economic. It Is his view that the foreign market for cotton Is being lost. As long as foreign markets are not available, some domestic price protection pro gram la essential. He does not care much about th domestic allotment plan, but Is willing to accept It re luctantlv In view of the foreign situ ation. He knows more about cotton than anyone else In congress, and his news are Influential with the power ful southern segment of the Demo cratic party. To appease that whole group, the AAA has agreed to put the old Mc-Nsry-Haugen stabilization fee Idea and the old debenture plan Into the new amendments.

R. Cash Bonus Bill WASHINGTON, May 32. (API Representatives Pierce, Democrat, and Eckwall and Mott. Republicans, of Oregon, voted today to override the presidents veto of the Patman cash bonus measure. WASHINGTON, May 22. (AP) With the atern Roosevelt veto of the Patman bonus bill already overridden emphatically by the house, the senate agreed late today to take It up at 10 o'clock tomorrow under a limitation of the time for debate. In defiance of a personal presiden tial warning that the measure In vited "greenback" destruction of the currency, the house voted 332 to 88 to Insist on the Patman bill a scant gain of four fnr the opposition since original passage. The veto was read to the senate shortly thereafter, although the mem bership had heard the president de liver It himself in the house. Debate Limited Under the agreement entered Into. no senator wilt be permitted to speak more than once or longer than 30 minutes. In the senate the administration still was counting on a few votes margin to sustain the veto. Denouncing the bill as providing a "deceptively easy method of pay ment," the president said It consti tuted an Invitation to start the printing presses with ultimate "sky rocketing prices" and "destruction" of savings. Just after he had left tne capitol. and senators had departed from the overcrowded chamber, the powerful bonus forces In the house united for a last effort on behalf of their pet before possibly opening a fight for something less litter. Compromise Alternalive Should the senate refuse the two thirds msjorlty necessary to override, early work on a compromise partial bonus payment was expected. The Roosevelt position today was construed by some as Indicating he would not veto a plan whereby veter ans could cash In their certificates at current instead of full value. Although the president quoted an old speech by him In arguing that the Patman bill was unfair,, Senator Borah (R.. Idaho) waa among those who disputed the argument that full payment was not now due. "Pay- (Continued on Page force) FOUR PRESIDENTS WASHINGTON. May 22. (AP) President Roosevelt is the fourth president to veto bonus legislation. In 1922 President Harding disap proved a measure which would have adjusted the war veterans' pay and also provide vocational training and other aid. The house voted to over ride, but not the seriate. Two years later the bonus, for which payment now is sought was paused and vetoed by President Cool Idge. Congress overrode him. President Hoover vetoed In 1931 a bill authorizing loans up to 40 per cent of the adjusted certificates' value. His wishes slso were dlsre- garded. PONDER FATE OF T LOS ANGELES. May 33.

( AP) Here are the main reasons glvn today by President Roosevelt for vetoing the parman bonus bill: 1. Pull payment of the bonus Is not due until 1045. 3. It directs payment to the veterans of $1.800,000. 000 more than was contempiated in the 1924 bonus act. 3. It would not be an aid to relief because It would not improve con ditions necessary to expand those Industries in which there la the greatest Overrides 322-98 for E, FOLLOW ON HEELS OF VETO MESSAGE WASHINGTON. May 33. (AP) Praise and criticism of President Roosevelt's bonus veto message was Immediately forthcoming today from members of congress after the chief executive had addressed congress. Senator Borah, (R., Ida.) said; "If the payment of the adjusted compensation at this time does not harmonize with the recovery of the country then it should not be paid. But I think It does harmonize with It. "There will never come a time when the soldier will need his money as he does now, and In my opinion the payment of tt in this way will not only be helpful to the soldier but to business throughout the country." Later Morah added that he doubt ed "there la any opening left for a compromise and X doubt If any votes will be changed aa the result of the speech." Senator Robinson, the democratic leader, said: "All who heard the president's message I believe will agree that It presents his reaaoni for (Continued on Page Seven) DUE TO CANCER SAY CHICAGO, May 32.
